Are there any authoritative references on the subject of combining
firewall and VPN server functionality (i.e. Nokia/CheckPoint) versus
separate devices (i.e. Cisco PIX, VPN3000)? There's plenty of
vendor-speak, and I've got my own ideas about KISS and firewalls, but
it's nice to have a respected reference to cite as well.

Thanks,
